Statement by Melissa Deutsch

I am really disappointed in the councillors who are putting this plan's future in jeopardy. What (it seems like) they fail to recognize is that although the LRT corridor does not run through their wards they will reap rewards. As someone who commutes via public transit to a job in ward 9, although I live in ward 2, I realize that shaving time off of my commute would either a) allow me to spend more time with my family or b) work additional hours so that I am not just getting by. When making these important decisions please consider not only the opinions of the residents but also of the business owners and their employees. After all, these employees from other areas of the city help make those suburban communities more vibrant and enjoyable.
